DEVICE OVERVIEW AND OPERATING ELEMENTS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Unpacking

1.  Take the unit and accessories out of the box.
2.  Keep the two wrapping cartons and the enclosed padding for the steak reactor. Only with this special packaging a safe transport is possible in case of complaint.
3.  Remove the remaining accessories from the interior of the grill.
4.  Carefully remove all packaging and check that the interior is free from packaging material. Check the appliance and especially the heating element and cable for damage.

Delivery
Check that the delivery is complete and inspect all parts for any damage. If anything is missing or damaged, please immediately contact our customer service. The following parts are included with delivery:

•  High-temperature grill
•  Grill attachment
•  Grate
•  Drip tray
•  Guide handle for the grate and the drip tray
•  Grease drip tray

Setup

•  When setting up, ensure that there is a sufficient distance between the device and strong heat sources such as hot plates, heating tubes, etc.
•  Avoid heat build-up and place the unit in an area that allows heat occurring during use of the device to dissipate.
•  The minimum distance on the sides of the device must be at least 15 cm. Above, there must be a minimum distance of 50 cm. The feet also serve as spaces underneath the device.
•  During the first use, smoke and odours may result from the burning of care oils. Therefore heat the device while it is empty (without food) for about 10 minutes in a well-ventilated room with the grill and drip tray intact.
•  Do not place the device under a wall cabinet or in a corner. Keep a safe distance from flammable materials such as curtains or tablecloths.
•  Set the appliance on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.

Insert grill box and the grease drip tray
For a simplified cleaning of the device, the grill attachment may be removed. Insert the attachment into the grill compartment. To prevent damage, make sure that the attachment does not come into contact with the heating element. The attachment is properly inserted when the latching hooks located on the top of the grill attachment engage the matching bolt in the grill compartment. The grill attachment is necessary for the safe operation of the device and must remain in the device during operation. Removal may only take place in a fully cooled state To remove the attachment, slightly raise until the latching hooks located at the top of the grill attachment are released. Pull the grill insert carefully out of the front. Contact with the heating element must be avoided to prevent damage. During the grilling of meat products, liquid is normally released from the food. This must not enter into the interior of the housing. Operate therefore only with the grease drip tray inserted.

OPERATION AND USAGE

Important note about the ceramic heating element:
During operation, the ceramic heating element shows a dark spot in the middle. No heating wires can be installed at this point. However, this has no effect on the grilling result, since the radiating behavior of the heating is diffuse and the grill surface is evenly irradiated in the middle.

Turning on the unit and setting the temperature
To turn on the device, press the power button on the back of the device. For a short moment, the software version will be displayed, e.g. R09. The controller may be used to increase or decrease the temperature setting of the heating element. The maximum temperature is 850 °C. Press the dial to confirm the set temperature.

Adjust cooking time
After confirming the grill temperature, you can set the time. The extreme temperature of up to 850° C poses a potential hazard. For this reason, the maximum adjustable operating time is 9:50 minutes. You may freely select this value between 400 and 850° C. Press the controller to confirm the cooking process. After reaching the preset temperature, the countdown of e.g. 9:50-0:00 will begin. At the end of the countdown, an acoustic signal will sound and the device will automatically switch off. If you want to continue the grilling process, press the controller twice. The last preset values will be taken on and the grilling process will continue.

Preheating
During operation, the high temperature grill displays the current temperature measured by a temperature sensor built into the heating element. As soon as the set target temperature is reached, an acoustic signal sounds. The temperature display then oscillates ± 20 °C around the target value.

Making Barbecue
Usual cooking time is between one and three minutes on each side of the food. Notes on cooking different foods and meats can be found in the table “forms of preparation”. The meat should be taken out of the refrigerator about 1 to 2 hours before grilling and slowly brought to room temperature.

Insert the drip tray into rail 6 of the preheated grill attachment using the guide handle. Place the meat on the non-preheated grate and insert it into rails 1 to 5 of the preheated grill attachment using the guide handle.

Select a rail depending on the thickness of the meat. For optimal browning and crusting, the meat should be positioned as close to the heating element as possible, but never touching it. Immediately remove the guide handle from the grate to avoid heating the handle. Caution: risk of injury. When placing meat, make sure that the piece of meat is positioned centrally under the heating element to ensure uniform irradiation of the food. To turn the meat you should completely remove the grill grate and place it on a fireproof surface. Turn the meat over and put it back into the BBQ. Use a grill tong instead of sharp utensils to avoid the meat juice flowing out. It is recommended to first warm the device. After preheating, you may restart the grilling process to allow enough time within one switching period. To do this, the rotary knob must be pressed three times in quick succession.

Cancel grilling
If you wish to stop the process during grilling, for example to change the set temperature or to shut down the appliance, press the knob once.

Remove meat and let rest after cooking
The strong radiant heat at a high temperature setting between 650 °C and 850 °C ensures rapid browning or crusting. In most cases, it is recommended that after strong irradiation, you remove the meat and let it rest. This can be done at reduced temperature in the upper grill room (rail 1-5) or better still in the lower grill room (rail 7-9), oreven directly in the drip tray in the lower room of the grill attachment (resting area). For this, you can remove the drip tray with the guide handle. (Caution, this can be hot and should be placed on a fireproof base). For slower warming after searing, the temperature should be lowered down to between 400 °C and 500 °C.

Drip tray
By default, the drip tray should be inserted in rail 6 during the grilling process. It can get hot and, just like the grill, should only be operated with the guide handle. The drip tray separates the upper and lower grill compartments and prevents the heating of the lower area. Thus, the meat juice and the fat can flow down, flow into the fat collecting tray and remain there largely protected from the heat and infrared radiation. When grilling several pieces of meat, the first can rest in the lower room after grilling while others are being grilled. Subsequently, the drip tray may be removed and all of the grilled meats may continue gently cooking at reduced temperature. Although the dripping grease drains off quickly into the grease trap, a thin film of grease may adhere to the surface of the drip tray. Due to the strong infrared radiation, it can burn into the surface. From a practical point of view, it is recommended to remove the drip tray briefly between rounds of grilling and drain with water or wipe with a damp cloth.

BASIC INFORMATION ON HIGH-TEMPERATURE GRILLING

Displayed temperature
The temperature shown in the display is measured by a high-precision temperature sensor directly in the heating element. According to lab measurements, the surface temperature of the heating element is about 3-5% above the displayed temperature. As the distance to the food being grilled increases, it decreases. Since the device works mainly with radiant heat, the intensity of the heat exposure depends on the surface of the meat. Surfaces that are dark and have little reflection heat up faster than surfaces with light colours.Note: it is not effective to measure the temperature of the heating element by means of an infrared thermometer. Through various reflections from the surrounding stainless steel surfaces and through the protective grid, the measurement result will be strongly influenced.The usage of a high-temperature grill is very different from the usage with customary grills. The performance per area is about ten times higher. The preparation of a steak is dived into the following steps:

1.  Preheat device.
2.  Position and insert the meat
3.  Grilling one side (1-4 minutes depending on the type of meat, see table)
4.  Grill the first side (1-4 minutes depending on meat and distance, see table)
5.  Grill the other side (1-4 minutes depending on the type of meat, see table)
6.  Grill the second side (1-4 minutes depending on meat and distance, see table)
7.  Let the meat rest (choice of temperature and time, see table)
8.  Enjoy!

TIPS

•  In general, it is always advantageous if the piece of meat is as thick as possible, has a lot of fat and even better has fat marbling running through it. Salt and pepper after grilling only. Of course you can rub the meat with a dry marinade first. A liquid marinade is not to recommended.
•  Butter or lard, which you can rub on the meat, enhances the taste.
•  For subsequent cooking, just put the piece of meat more to the front of the grille and let it simmer below on the runnings 4/5. Thus the desired consistency of the meat comes off.
•  For subsequent cooking, simply let the piece of meat rest on the bottom of rail 4- 5 or 7-9 and continue to cook slowly at reduced temperature in order to reach the desired consistency of the meat. In this case, a commercially available meat thermometer may be used. Turn a few times during this process.
• First sous-vide cook the food and as the final step grill the meat in Steakreaktor Pro.

Roasting vegetables:
For the perfect grilled vegetables, roast zucchini, aubergine, peppers, onions, etc. from each side.

To brown / prepare a roast:
To develop the perfect roast aromas for a roast, simply place it in the Steakreaktor and cook it for a few minutes at high temperature. Suitable cuts of meat include cote de boeuf, boiled beef, roast beef, lamb, etc. Example of use: 300 g

1.  Turn the device to 800-850 °C and preheat.
2.  Put the chop on the middle of the grille.
3.  Insert into second running.
4.  Take out the grille after 1 to 1.5 minutes and turn the meat.
5.  Place steak below, place on the grill or in the tray at reduced temperature.
6.  Let continue cooking for 3-10 minutes.

Turn off and allow to cool down
If the set time has run out or the grilling procedure has been interrupted, the fans keeps on running. This is important to make sure that the case does not heat up to much by the residual heat in the device. Turn off the mains only when the fan has stopped automatically.

CLEANING AND CARE

The device may only be cleaned after it has cooled down completely, the main switch has been switched off and the earthing contact plug has been removed from the socket and the device is therefore completely disconnected from the mains. First remove the grill grate, the drip tray, the drip tray and then the grill attachment. The grill should be completely sprayed with an appropriate cleaner. Pay attention to metal compatibility when choosing a cleaner. Let the cleaning agent act, and if the grill insert is very dirty spray several times. After a sufficient reaction time, thoroughly rinse the insert with the aid of a washing-up brush with plastic bristles. Do not use abrasives, wire brushes or steel sponges to prevent scratches and corrosion. The grill room and the housing must be regularly and thoroughly cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Do not spray cleaners in or on the device. Detergent should be applied to the appliance using a cloth. Prevent strong mechanical loads on the heating during the cleaning process. Attention: residues may ignite, so clean thoroughly.Note: The removable parts are made of high quality stainless steel and are suitable for cleaning in the washing machine.
